It has been awhile since I posted new projects on the blog, besides the monthly 3D calendar, but I have been working on the castle and though it is not done yet, here are a few preview photos.

I am working on the first two sections, one will be a house, the other the guard’s tower. As you can imagine there are lots of details involved. Both sections will have a basement, the oubliettes, and a secret passage.

After doing the mock-up and fixing all the details, to make sure everything fits well together, I have started on the texture for the different parts; here you can see a preview of the small room under the house.

The house itself is different from my original model, but will still have plenty of interesting details to place inside and a nice fireplace.

It will have new people and creatures, (and many different accessories that you can make to furnish your castle).

Here’s a photo of the guard tower, though it will be somewhat different in the final.

And here are a few sample pages of the texture being worked on.

And if you are interested, here are some books I have been collecting on castles and medieval life, for inspiration. I’m including here a list of the titles and authors of these books, in case you would like to order them on line or at your local bookshop.

Again, thank you for your comments and letters, it is always a great encouragement. And to those of you who have sent donations, your gifts are a great help to continue to producing.
